District Day - Rare Essence Performance

Join us for a live performance celebrating District Day, honoring D.C. Emancipation Day, which emancipated 3,000 enslaved individuals in the nation's capital. 

About The Group

Rare Essence, Washington’s premier Go-Go band for more than four decades, is a DC institution that has built a devoted fan base that spans multiple generations, drawn to the indigenous funk sired in the mid ‘70s by the late Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown.
